Oh, the irony….

[Enid, Oklahoma] Two men were jailed on arson complaints after one of them hit the wrong button on a cell phone, giving 911 dispatchers an account of a plot to set a vehicle on fire.

Enid police Capt. Jim Nivison said from that call, 911 dispatchers and a shift supervisor listened for nearly four hours to the two Enid natives as they drove across town, first planning to steal an acquaintance’s car, then deciding to build an incendiary device out of a light bulb to burn the car up.

“It’s all on tape; we’ve got the whole thing,” Nivison said. “They made some pretty dumb statements. One of the males said. ‘It’s gonna burn, will they be able to get fingerprints?’ and ‘I’ve got the lighter, Dude. Let’s go.’ ”

    I bet Jay Leno makes jokes about this!

    I wonder, did the police and/or 911 dispatchers stop them in time from burning the car? 4 hours seems like plenty of time to apprehend them. If they didn’t and it was my car I would be PO’d.

    Well, no joke tonight from Leno. Maybe next week as part of his “Headlines” feature. He always tells Kevin (the band leader) that he hates stupid criminals.
